'Day in Pink' golf tourney was a team effort

The Watertown Golf Club, Thompson Park, on Aug. 13 hosted its 2nd annual Rally for the Cure golf tournament to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Golfers throughout Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties, including players from Myrtle Beach, S.C., played in the 18-hole Captain & Crew event. It was truly a "day in pink" as the golfers paid tribute to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Prizes were awarded to the top three teams, including ladies, men and co-ed teams. Special events throughout the day included closest to the pin. These winners received a ladies' golf bag and men's Etonic golf shoes, provided by Titleist.

Other events included longest drive, accuracy drive, longest putt, putting contest and a hole-in-one contest.

Entertainment was provided at the awards presentation by David Scanlin on acoustic guitar and vocals and special guest vocalists, Tom Mallett and Tom Dier, known as The D.T's.

On behalf of the Watertown Golf Club, I would like to thank everyone who participated. All of the golfers, volunteers, food donors, prizes, raffles, cash donations, the Watertown Daily Times, all local radio stations, Froggy 97, WNYF, WWNY, Newswatch 50, Waite Motor Sports and anyone who contributed in any area to making this year's Rally for the Cure a great success.

A special thank you to our local Best Buy sponsor for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

It is through community support that we can continue to raise awareness to this dreaded disease. I am proud to be a member of such a caring community that offers such compassion for these events. Thank you for your contributions and continued support.
